No, in my area the public school system offers cosmetology school for free.

I'm sure there's some fancy for profit private schools that cost $30k though.

For a lot of the programs through the public school system you need to enroll as a junior in high school. So if you don't choose that career by the ripe old age of 16 or 17 then public school isn't an option. A high school senior who decides to go into cosmetology only has the option of paying for school or finding a two-year unpaid apprenticeship.
